Good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. Our headlines today a nakedly political put up job. Downing street reacts angrily as borisjohnson is referred to the Police Watchdog over his links to an american businesswoman when he was mayor of london. The labour leader, jeremy corbyn, promises to replace the governments controversial welfare policy, universal credit, should they get into power. The heat dominates at the world athletics championships. Kenyas Ruth Chepngetich wins the womens marathon but nearly half the field pull out. Good morning. A very unsettled weekend ahead. Whilst there is some sunshine in the forecast, theres also heavy rain and some strong winds. All of the details in the next half an hour. Its saturday the 28th of september. Our top story downing street has reacted angrily after borisjohnson was referred to the Police Watchdog over his friendship with an american businesswoman. The independent office for Police Conduct will look at whether a criminal investigation should be launched into allegations thatJennifer Arcuri was given favourable treatment, including financial grants, when mrjohnson was mayor of london. Our Home Affairs CorrespondentDaniel Sandford reports. Come to london. Build your businesses here. The mayor of london supports you. The american tech entrepreneur Jennifer Arcuri received £11,500 sponsorship for events run by her company innotech from organisations linked to borisjohnsons office while he was mayor of london. She then went on three overseas trade missions with borisjohnson all of which shed originally been turned down for. The bbc has spoken to several people who were on the trips. They said Jennifer Arcuri seemed out of place, as her companies were less substantial than those of other participants. Borisjohnsons office intervened to make sure that she got on one of the trips to tel aviv, though she paid her own way. Ilike it its brilliant the allegations of Improper Conduct were originally made in the sunday times and have been looked at by the Greater LondonAuthority Monitoring officer this week. Shes now decided to ask the Police Watchdog, the independent office for Police Conduct, to assess whether borisjohnson should be investigated for the criminal offence of misconduct in public office. The iopc are involved because, as mayor of london, borisjohnson was also in charge of londons metropolitan police. I really think there are so many more important issues like putting more important issues like putting more police on streets, increasing funding for schools. All of these things are the kind of issues that my constituents and the general public want us to focus on. I just do not believe that this complaint is the issue that it is being made out to be in the media this morning. The Prime Minister has vigorously denied the allegations. A senior government source said the referral to the iopc was a nakedly political put up job. Daniel sandford, bbc news. There is a lot of Politics Around this morning, dont switch off labour is promising to scrap the controversial benefits system, universal credit, if it wins the next general election. Party Leaderjeremy Corbyn will say today that welfare reforms introduced under the conservatives were the conservatives were inhumane and cruel. Andy moore reports. Jeremy corbyn enjoying a kick about with the hawks heroes a scheme in brighton aiming to improve the physical and mental well being of men over 30. This morning, the well being of everyone on universal credit will be at the top of his agenda. Hell say the government scheme is behind schedule and over budget, as well as being inhumane and cruel. Lets get a welfare system that works. We are going to scrap universal credit and the department for work pensions and replace it with a department of social security. The clue is in the name. We wa nt security. The clue is in the name. We want to have a safety net for everybody. More than 1. 5 Million People receive universal credit. Its designed to combine several old benefits into one means tested payment. Labour hasnt announced details of an alternative scheme, but its immediate emergency reforms would include ending the 5 week waiting period, scrapping the two child limit, and dropping the benefit cap. Difficulties involving rolling out universal credit were acknowledged by the former work and pensions secretary earlier this year. I know that there are problems with universal credit, despite its good intentions. Ive seen them for myself. I will be listening and learning from the expert groups in this area who do such good work. I know it can be better. But the government says Jeremy Corbyns plans to scrap universal credit entirely are totally irresponsible and reckless political point scoring. Some charities have welcomed the labour plan. But others are worried about yet more upheaval for families on benefits. Andy moore, bbc news. The Scottish First minister, nicola sturgeon, has said the snp could backjeremy corbyn as an interim Prime Minister to prevent borisjohnson from taking the uk out of the eu without a deal. She called for a vote of no confidence in the current government, followed by a caretaker administration. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley is in our london newsroom. Nick, she can say that but ultimately this is a numbers game, isnt it . It absolutely is. Just imagine the fireworks next week if there was an attempt to try to bring down the government at the same time the conservative conference is going on in manchester. But that is exactly what the snp are talking about. Seniorfigures in the party what the snp are talking about. Senior figures in the party this morning saying they do think that there will be a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister in the coming days. It is more complicated than that, as you say. They need labour on board, the lib dems, plaid cymru and they need some conservative mps who were chucked out of the party by borisjohnson to back the plan as well. That is not going to be easy. But some in the smb are really worried that time is running out for them to force Boris Johnson or someone else to come up with a brexit extension. This is about putting pressure on opposition parties to come up with a plan. They are meeting on monday and that could be crucial. Indeed, nobody knows what comes next. The us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has been ordered by democrats to turn over documents relating to the Trump Administrations dealings with ukraine. They want to impeach President Trump over allegations that he put pressure on his ukrainian counterpart to investigatejoe biden mr trumps likely opponent in next years president ial election. Five state Department Employees have been summoned to congress. Theres been reports of an explosion near a polling station in the afghan city of kandahar, as voting gets under way in the countrys president ial election. Tens of thousands of Afghan Forces were deployed across the country to counter taliban militants, who had vowed to target polling stations. A number of people were reportedly injured in the blast. The broadcasting regulator ofcom says it is assessing comments made by breakfasts Naga Munchetty following tweets by President Trump in july. She was speaking on this programme after mr trump called for four non white congresswomen to go back to their countries. The bbc received a complaint and ruled that naga was entitled to comment about her own experience of racism but she should not have speculated about the president s motives as that breached impartiality. Ofcom says it has now received complaints about the broadcast and it is assessing whether a full invesigation is necessary. Prince harry has said that visiting the most famous site of his late mothers anti landmine campaigning was an emotional experience. He was speaking after walking through a partially cleared landmine field in angola just as diana, princess of wales, did in 1997, shortly before her death. Our correspondent Pumza Fihlani joins us from cape town in south africa. We know it is deeply significant for prince harry. He has said that. But how significant is this people in Southern Africa . It isa Southern Africa . It is a moment that the people of angola particularly are excited about because in the same way that Princess Diana was able to shine a spotlight on the dangers of landmines and spark a global campaign, harry is hoping to remind the world that these landmines still exist and that they still pose a real danger to people they are. In terms of south africa, what south africans are focused on, because the duchessis africans are focused on, because the duchess is still here in cape town, she recently visited the site where a 19 Year Old University student was raped and killed at a post office. They are, she laid flowers, left a note and said that she and her husband had been watching with dismay the violence that south African Women are facing and this is something that she is passionate about. We know that she is having private meetings where she says she wa nts to private meetings where she says she wants to learn more about how to help women in south africa feel safer in this country. Now for something completely different. If you like to back a horse at short odds this could be the race for you. The annual Shetland Pony grand national took place at newmarket yesterday. 13 riders, who had to be aged between nine and 13, and under five feet tall, raced over two and a half furlongs. Ijust i just about missed ijust about missed out they are going, are they not . Little legs but they are going very fast. Thats four miles shorter than the full sized race at aintree. 12 year old zac kent won by a nose, which must have left the other riders feeling rather low. There we go, photo finish. There we go, photo finish. There is the little tiny nose. You would never tell from that that they are shetland ponies, they look like proper racehorses. Where else would you get that at this time on a saturday morning . Thank you so much forjoining us. Its the fifth most common cancer in the uk and in the most serious cases it can kill within a matter of months. But in recent years, doctors have made significant today, theyre announcing that another huge milestone has been passed as a new treatment offers a lifeline to more than half of patients with an advanced form of the disease. Were joined now by the chief executive of melanoma uk, gillian nuttall, and by anthea smith, who was diagnosed with it in 2015. Good morning to both of you. Anthea, telus, what happened . What were you told when you are diagnosed . telus, what happened . What were you told when you are diagnosed . I was told when you are diagnosed . I was told how sneaky and aggressively melanoma was because it had been present for about five years prior to being officially diagnosed. My prognosis was pretty poor. Two major surgeries. I am now totally deaf on the left side, most of my skull is missing, no sense of taste, my balance is really poor. 32 sessions of radiotherapy. Five years ago, there were no drug options for stage three patients. Being very closely screened, supported by an amazing team. But the risk of recurrence is quite high. So, yes, scary times, really. Scary time and opposite that has been a really gruelling treatment to go through for so long, but you are here and it is great to have you here i guess there were times when you thought you would not may be bigger at this point. Really scary. I get emotional. That you may not be here at this point. I have got to teenage sons who were beginning their gcses at the time i was diagnosed. They are 18 and 19 110w was diagnosed. They are 18 and 19 now but yes, worried about. I want to bea now but yes, worried about. I want to be a mum for as long as i can, a wife, a friend. This news is amazing, to think that the change in that short time. We will give you a breakfor a that short time. We will give you a break for a minute. Gillian, what is different about this treatment . It is revolutionary, isnt it . Yes, as an organisation we are delighted that we have this news today. I came into the scene 11, 12 years ago. I had a family friend who died of melanoma into thousand and eight and had no options. The options were so limited. He just had some chemotherapy and radiotherapy and sadly died at the age of 30. Had he been diagnosed now, it probably would have been a very different story for him. Were so encouraged byjudys story for him. Were so encouraged by judys news story for him. Were so encouraged byjudys news and particularly that of our medical advisers, professor larkin, has been at the forefront of this. You can imagine how difficult it is for a clinician to meet people like anthea all those years ago and say there is nothing we can do. Now, there is that air of positivity and it has given a lot of melanoma patients and families a lot of hope and a spring in their step. Drugs work differently with the immune system, is that right . Yes, i am not a medic so i couldnt explain that to you but these treatments are revolutionary. As a patient, as a mother, to be kind of part of this milestone that the doctors are talking about, that is something, isnt it . Yes, constantly living with uncertainty and hope, today the seesaw with uncertainty and hope, today the seesaw is in more the side of hope. Should my cancer require because i am classed as no evidence of active disease, i now know that there is treatment that is really helping people. Should my cancer comeback. Even fim only able to tolerate it for a few months because of side effects, they have still had some amazing responses to that. It isa some amazing responses to that. It is a lifeline, really. There are still a lot of misconceptions about melanoma, are there not, that it is six them exclusively about sun damage . Yes, we do know that overexposure , use of damage . Yes, we do know that overexposure, use of sunbeds, but some people will be predisposed to it. Irrespective of their habits in the sun. We are made very often, all too often, with it is only skin cancer, it can be cut out. That is not the case with melanomas, as anthea shows. It can be a very sneaking and aggressive disease. What can people do to protect themselves and what should they be looking at in terms of the early signs . As i say, i am not a medic but what i have learned over the years is regular skin checks. Anything that is different, that alarms you about anything that you have seen on your skin, reported to yourgp and ask have seen on your skin, reported to your gp and ask to be referred to dermatology. Good, sensible sun exposure. We need sun for vitamin d but protecting yourself properly and reporting anything that you see that as suspicious. Despite these developments and advances, everybody still needs to take care. Of course. We still need to take care. We still have a long way to go in melanoma. I am sure the researchers will tell you. Anthea, we saw a picture of your earlier and you are very pearly. You look fantastic, i bet in some ways you cannot believe it has happened. Each day, people tell me how well i look and i think that is the kind of balancing act. It is living with that uncertainty and not knowing what is happening inside, but feeling. Cancer has given me a better quality of life, as in i now live in the moment. The things i used to worry about i know no longer worry about. Yes, i live in the moment. And what does that mean. What sort of things are you doing . We spent a month in australia at the beginning of the year only family holiday. I spent dumb and drive a nice, different family car. I drive a nice family car. I am still sensible with money but i spend it. Good for you. Thank you both are coming in. It is not easy talking about it publicly, let alone on a sofa in front of cameras on a saturday morning. I am sure everybody will appreciate you sharing it. And fantastic to have learnt from it and have a new approach to life. That is fantastic. Heres alina with a look at this mornings weather. Todayis today is a day with sunny spells and showers. Some gales across england and wales, travel disruption in places. Morning where dominant rain will slowly clear. Then a scattering of showers particularly across north wales. Some heavy rain arrives and approaches through the southwest this afternoon for a breezy day for most but increasingly when the across parts of wales and southern england. Strong winds through this evening and overnight. Temperatures, mid to high teens, locally up to 20 celsius for east anglia. Somewhat cooler across northern scotland. Here is the low pressure through this evening and overnight. Delivering fairly heavy, heavy rain fairly heavy rain. Those costs across central and southern wales could touch 50 most powerful. Rain clearing away but still with some strong winds. It stays unsettled into the early part of next week. Eventually, drier albeit somewhat colder. Thank you. Thanks for nothing it is 9 19am. Lets look at the papers. Lets go to the front pages. The mirror leading on the story that ministers are said to be urgently considering are said to be urgently considering a ban on the import of souvenirs from trophy hunting safaris. The conservatives announcing issues of policies and initiatives designed to improve animal right and welfare in the uk and abroad. An online opioid scandal is the headline for the times this morning. The newspapers find Online Pharmacies which are prescribing dangerous painkillers without any consultation with gps. The daily meal reports the ongoing controversy the daily meal reports the ongoing c0 ntrove isy over the daily meal reports the ongoing controversy over the bbcs ruling that Naga Munchetty breached editorial guidelines when discussing a breach by President Trump. It found that she was entitled to refer to racism as she saw it but not to explain the possible motivation that President Trump might have had. That is right, and that is also on the front page of the guardian this morning. They report staff revolts, growing anger over the way the issue has been handled by the bbc. At the bottom, that has pictures of the political satire is show spitting image which is set to return, but it is not entirely clear where and when. They have made the puppets and now just need a channel to put the programme on post the guardians film critic as your tillers what has cut his eye. We talk about the Margaret Thatcher and john major spitting image. It is very weird seeing that story. It is like if i have fallen through a wormhole in the space time continuum, have we gone back to 1990 . What is this story doing back on the front page question mark the reason is that charles miras much admired multivolume biography of Margaret Thatcher has just come out in his latest volume and this is a story derived from the serialisation in the telegraph. It isjohn majors alleged role in the Margaret Thatcher downfall of 1990, but it is still in bed battling on the face of it that they should want to lead on it. After all, the fact ofjohn majors possible hand in things is a very old story for stopped but it is still a bit baffling on the face of it. But then the penny drops and you realise that the telegraph has taken you realise that the telegraph has ta ken another you realise that the telegraph has taken another opportunity to bash john major, i suspect because sir jane, john i suspect because sirjohn major is the telegraphs. I for brexit. It is the telegraphs. I for brexit. It isa is the telegraphs. I for brexit. It is a brexit story by proxy. They have resurrected this as a way of reigniting. Was have resurrected this as a way of reigniting. Was among have resurrected this as a way of reigniting. Was among word brexit doesnt actually appear. Of course it doesnt. Subliminal. You will see charles mas column on the subject and what it says is that we need to discover mrs that yours angry will. Soi discover mrs that yours angry will. So i think this is sensibly rather baffling story is a brexit story. So trying to discredit john baffling story is a brexit story. So trying to discreditjohn major questioning he has been very prominent over the last 18 months. Very prominent. Forget brexit, this is very serious. Chestnut trees are on the way out. It is likely dutch elm Something Like that, but it makes me feel very old because i remember playing conkers. The Children Play congress . I thought they just had their Children Play congress . I thought theyjust had their ipads and dont play it. You dont want to play it with an ipad. That could get very expensive. But if you pack up all of the conkers then they are a form of seat distribution and dont have a chance to grow. It is an existential ecological crisis, you have put your finger on it. In 100 years time, the presenters will be talking about that there are too many conkers trees. What are children doing instead of they are not playing conkers . According to a psychotherapist and a teacher addressing the dominate conference, they are indulging in emotional obesity. She thinks that emotional obesity. She thinks that emotional obesity is the new buzzword over age. Young children are allegedly being encouraged to talk about their feelings too much, to indulge in their feelings, feelings too much, to indulge in theirfeelings, gorge on feelings too much, to indulge in their feelings, gorge on their feelings, with the result of suffering of emotional obesity. I think it is nonsense. I still dont think it is nonsense. I still dont think people are talking about their emotions enough or in the right way. What she does is talk about a social media and taking selfies as an example of talking about your feelings, it is the complete opposite. People are putting on a brave front. Was my guess, masking it. Putting on a smiling show of ultra success for social media. I am emotionally slick, i am very english, we all talk about her feelings not at all in this country. It is quite male as well, which is the worrying thing, that a lot of young men suffer Mental Health problems. It is not emotional obesity at all, it is emotional starving. Putting on a mask and smiling when we dont really feel good inside brings us neatly to the joker, the new movie. |j good inside brings us neatly to the joker, the new movie. I have got to admit, i havent seen it yet. I am looking forward to it more than i can say i have got a strong feeling iam going can say i have got a strong feeling i am going to love it. This film is about a sociopathic, apart from everything else. There are stories in the paper that us cinemas are preventing people from showing up two screenings in masks or make up because they wanted to prevent copycat killings. Now, ideally worried about that or is this another example of hype, i dont know. But there is interesting stuff about the joker. My colleague know. But there is interesting stuff about thejoker. My colleague has an article in the guardian aboutjoker, there is no definite article, where there is no definite article, where there is no definite article, where there is something very unfunny aboutjoker and our culture. Also, marina has a column saying that Dominic Cummings is the political jokerfor Dominic Cummings is the political joker for our time, Dominic Cummings is the political jokerfor our time, our Dominic Cummings is the political jokerfor ourtime, our giggling incel culture. The character, joker, if you take a comedian and takeaway what is funny, what you have left is a monster. If you give him all the impertinence, the nervousness, the insecurity, the desire to be loved, the desire to be popular, to impose your will on everybody else and enforce a laugh on an audience, but you takeaway what is genuinely funny and youre left with something horrifying. It is incredibly sinister. It is, and this new internet phenomenon on of trolling is very contemporary. People using unfunny humour to abuse and disconcert, i think that is very contemporary. Whether or not it turns out to be a good movie, i havent seen it yet, but it is certainly very pertinent and topical. And it is a character that has been played so well so many times. Exactly, Joaquin Phoenix is such a good actor. Although, again, i always think of cesar romero. I cannot think of anybody else but him who took a very un intellectual line on the whole thing. He was interesting but shallow. Very pantomime. Heath ledger. With the sheer unexplained quality ofjokers maligned quality in that film, i think hes ledger totally nailed it. But this is a different approach for stoppages seeking to create an art movie style, grammar, social realist back story for why joker believes the way he does. I rememberJack Nicholson joker believes the way he does. I remember Jack Nicholson playing joker believes the way he does. I rememberJack Nicholson playing the role, that was kind of amazing. 0h, looking forward to that. Lovely to see you. We this is breakfast. Were on bbc one until ten oclock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. Matt, whats on the menu for us . Our special guest is the wonderful alexander armstrong.

But first, a summary of this mornings main news. Downing street has reacted angrily after Boris Johnson was referred to the Police Watchdog over his friendship with an american businesswoman.

The Prime Minister denies any wrongdoing. Labour will promise to scrap the welfare system of universal credit if the party wins the next general election. The party Leaderjeremy Corbyn will today condemn the system as an unmitigated disaster which is inhumane and cruel. The government says the proposal is irresponsible. The Brexit Party Leader nigel farage has warned the Prime Minister not to return from brussels with in his words a reheated version of theresa mays deal. Mrs mays deal was rejected three times by mps. Speaking at a brexit conference in london, mr farage said the conservatives will lose votes to his party if people think the same deal is being offered. Ill tell you this, mrjohnson, mrcummings. If you think if you think and if you do get this through, that you can sell this as brexit, youre in for a big surprise. The british people wont swallow it. If they realise nothing has changed, they will not put up with it and you will lose votes to us in absolutely huge numbers. Heed that warning, please the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has been ordered by democrats to turn over documents relating to the Trump Administrations dealings with ukraine. They want to impeach President Trump over allegations that he put pressure on his ukrainian counterpart to investigatejoe biden mr trumps likely opponent in next years president ial election.

More than half of patients with a deadly skin cancer once seen as untreatable have been handed a lifeline thanks to a revolutionary new treatment, doctors will announce today. A decade ago, most patients diagnosed with late stage melanoma would not survive more than a few months. Now drugs that harness the bodys immune system mean 52 are living for longer than five years. Experts have hailed the transformation as a huge milestone. Our health and science correspondent James Gallagher reports. Palmer smith is alive and well but its been more than five years since she had the devastating news that her cancer was untreatable and an aggressive melanoma had spread inside her body and she says she didnt stand a chance. But she took pa rt didnt stand a chance. But she took part ina didnt stand a chance. But she took part in a pioneering trial and says it saved her life. When having those drugs like that, i might not have got to see my grandchildren. The ca rs got to see my grandchildren. The cars its just over five years now since it happened, and my youngest grandchild was six at the weekend, so, you know, iwouldnt grandchild was six at the weekend, so, you know, i wouldnt have seen him growing up and the other grandchildren, as well. Ten years ago, people usually died within 6 9 months of being diagnosed, but this trial on a 9115 patients tested a combination of immuno therapies and showed a 52 were still alive five yea rs showed a 52 were still alive five years later. The doctor who was presenting the data at a cancer conference said the impact was an amazing surprise. Its been the most extraordinary transformation from a disease that was regarded amongst all the cancers as the most difficult to treat, with the most serious prognosis, too, as you say, the possibility that 50 of people stage four melanoma, will be alive five years after having immunotherapy treatment. Pam has not been cured and her cancer halved in size after treatment and has not grown in five years, others are in com plete grown in five years, others are in complete remission with no sign of the tumour in the body. Immunotherapy is Nobel Prize Winning science, which is making the untreatable, treatable. James gallagher, bbc news.

Pensioners across the globe are going head to head in a world cycling competition visiting thousands of cities. From the comfort of their nursing homes. Its a virtual experience on a stationary bike. At this care home in iceland the team have already cycled more than 1800 miles. 200 teams and more than four thousand cyclists are taking part in the challenge. I would do that at the gym. I think ben thompson is not one of those at home. Its very on trend at the moment, this cycling. He is a little young for that particular competition. I dont know. I think i could give him a run for his money. The ban is underage, and you dont have to worry about weather, mud, reflective jackets, envious team mates eyeing up your bike. Youve got no excuse not to do exercise. Holly, sorry to drag you away from the rugby. Dont worry, ive got a little screen by my side. Im watching behind my hands right now. Ireland with japan. Its always different when youre playing the hosts. They have beaten japan in their last seven meetings, but japan have a japan in their last seven meetings, butjapan have a history japan in their last seven meetings, but japan have a history of causing a little bit of an upset at world cups. Remember the last world cup, south africa in the group stages . Possibly we could see it here again. Rob carney has scored a last try. Two tries for ireland so far, leading 12 9. Im not impressed. Three penalty kicks forjapan has tightened that margin ever so slightly. We are into the second half. It is like goggle box sitting here watching you watch the telly. Apologies. There was actually another going this morning too. Earlier, argentina picked up a bonus point as they beat tonga 28 12. All their four tries came in the first half withjulian montoya scoring three of them. Argentina move to second place in pool c, behind leaders england who they play next saturday in tokyo. To the atheltics World Championships where the womens marathon started at midnight local time but with temperatures of 32 degrees celsius and humidity reaching over 70 . 28 of the 68 starters withdrew in the gruelling condition. Briton Charlotte Purdue among them. Organisers decided to go ahead with the race where kenyas Ruth Chepngetich went on to win in just over two hours. It wasnt just the marathon that was affected. This isjonathan busby of aruba. He was competing in the mens 5000 metre heats and he was in serious trouble. Helping him across the line was braima dabo of guinea bissau. Busby was ok in the end. He even had time to stop his watch. What a bit of sportsmanship that is. So with the heat dominating, it was a day of mixed fortunes for the brits. Lets wrap up the rest of the days action. Austin halewood was watching. A new frontierfor athletics new generation. The first World Championships to be held on the Arabian Peninsula and for the 2,000 athletes competing, this meet could be all about the heat. The worlds first fully air conditioned track burst into life yesterday and, for some, it was all over too quickly. Lynsey sharpe been one of britains medal hopes in the 800 metres. A former european champion, fourth in the world this year, but she was off her game. Commentator and lynsey sharpes in trouble fourth in her heat and already heading home. But european indoor champion Shelayna Oskan Clarke and alex bell both safely made it though. As did sprinter zharnel hughes. He cruised into the semifinals of the 100 metres, along with fellow Brits Adam Gemili and ojie edoburun. It was a bit different from the heat to the cool, especially in the call room it is a bit chilly inside there. Degrees is, like, 22 so im like. But other than that, im fine. Im happy i got through easily and im onto the next round. The only cloud in qatar hangs over American Christian coleman. The sprinter avoided a ban for missing three drugs tests on a technicality, but on the track, he is the man to beat the fastest in the world this year and the only man to go under ten seconds so far. Holly bradshaw did not need that long, though, to make her way through. One jump, one completion, into the pole vault final. And she gets it superjump ahead of the championships, the ingebritsen brothers from norway were three of the athletes to watch. At 19, jakob is just about the best of them, but at this level, one false step can make all the difference. The european champion stepping off the track and disqualified from the 5,000 metres. Chris mcalister had to wait until the final race of the day for his 400 metres hurdles heat. He edged his way into fourth on the line that saw him through to a first semifinal.

Their boss Pep Guardiola has defended his portuguese forward Bernardo Silva after the Football Association asked for the club to explain a post on social media, now deleted, in which silva compared a cartoon character on a sweet packet to his team mate and friend benjamin mendy. Both have written to the fa, silva saying that he regrets that he may have unintentionally caused offence, mendy stressing that he took no offence. Bernardos an exceptional person. An exceptional. So, like, he likes to be involved and in different situations, so what i said, make a focus on other issues, bernardo is not absolutely guilty because his intention, it wasjust a joke. I saw it. It is a cartoon and the face is quite similar. Probably the same happened thousand million times with white people for the , you know . Its the same.

Afterwards, the two time olympic champion admitted she was a bit ring rusty after a year out and offered the mexican a rematch. That is it. Does this mean i can go and watch the rugby . Is that ok . Still no change in the school, ireland leading 12 9. Its a bit close for comfort to be honest. A bit to go. Goodness, whats that, 56 minutes . Another 25 minutes left. Im not going to cope youre working on the news channel through to lunchtime. I held my breath for that last penalty. Im just glad the camera was not on me. Thanks for putting us in this morning. We appreciated. She has gone. If you are getting up to any sporting activities this weekend, lets find out what the weather has in store. Its not all doom and gloom behind me. There is some sunshine in the forecast but further heavy rain to come particular across england and wales this evening, overnight into tomorrow. Strong winds, as well the travel disruption in places down to this bank of cloud currently in the atlantic. It is tied in with an area of low pressure, frontal systems and another area of low pressure across the north east of the uk so thats been generating some rain across eastern scotland and Northern England through this morning. That will be slowly clearing its way eastwards over the coming hours or so behind that things will turn dry and most of us will see spells of sunshine but we will keep some showers going through the day particular across north wales into the midlands, maybe the north of east anglia this afternoon. One or two scattered showers elsewhere but for most, mainly dry, spells of sunshine, before a band of heavy rain arrives in the South West England and south wales later this afternoon and through this evening. A breezy day but turning increasingly windy. With those gusts increasingly windy. With those gusts increasing through this evening. In the sunshine, it should feel pleasa ntly the sunshine, it should feel pleasantly warm, temperatures, 19 20 in the east, but quite cool across northern scotland. Low pressure pushing its way north and east this evening and overnight bringing some heavy rain falling onto saturated ground across wales and central southern england. I mention the rain getting up to the far north of england and Northern Ireland. The strongest winds across the southern half of the uk where they could touch 50 miles an hour particularly for exposed coast but for most its a mild night with temper does not much lower than 13 14 in places. Further rain tomorrow particular for the midlands, Northern England, slowly trying to pull away north and east was becoming patchy. Elsewhere, showers across england and wales. Not too bad a day for Northern Ireland and scotland where we will see fewer showers and spells of sunshine but we see more of a northerly wind so it will feel cooler and also cold across Northern England particularly where we have got the rain continuing through the afternoon. Low pressure pulls away north and east through sunday evening but notice the squeeze in the isobars, so another spell of strong winds across central, southern and Eastern England later on tomorrow and again those gusts could touch 50 miles an hour for exposed southern coasts. That low pressure pulls a way eastwards. Behind it, dry and bright on monday but not for long, though. Low pressure pushing in from the atla ntic pressure pushing in from the atlantic as we go through monday, so there is more unsettled weather to come through monday and tuesday. Wet and windy for many. If you are looking for something brighter, perhaps around the middle part of the week we will see something quieter but that will go hand in hand with something a bit colder. We could have frosty nights next week. Nina and john, back to you. Im remaining optimistic about a nice october. I will believe a for now. Thank you. It is 9 46am. They started out as fringe events for hard core fans but Music Festivals are now firmly part of mainstream culture and worth millions of pounds. But a bbc investigation has uncovered a dark side to the summer scene. Journalist livvy haydock looked at the methods used by organised gangs to smuggle drugs into events for a bbc three documentary. Earlier this week she came in to the studio and spoke to charlie and louise. In each episode we go in to meet various people who play a role in supplying the festival scene with the drugs, whether thats security, drug gangs or drug dealers, traffickers. And the idea behind going to meet them is what . For me, its basically to understand how weaknesses in the system is being exploited, go to the people that are exploiting it. And find out what their methods are, how they are doing it and how it could be better stopped. Give us an idea of how they are exploiting the system. One interesting take on it is, i mean, the security at festivals seems very strong and tough, but actually, the ways in which the dealers i met and the gangs i met are doing it is they are stashing drugs internally so actually a pat down, a scan, a metal detector, thats not going to find that. And the drugs will get in. Really interesting because i watched one of the episodes in which you meet two people who deal drugs in this country and they are trying to export it abroad. And you actually see how its made. Are you concerned by showing people how its made, that you sort of encourage it in any way . No. For everything that we show, we dont show pieces, as well. Its not a recipe, a how to guide or anything. Its exposing the horrific things that are being put into it. Rat poison, for example . Rat poison. You hear about it. A lot of concrete going into drugs like mdma. But hes there with the rat poison and you see him put it in it. And he describes exactly why he uses rat poison. Which is beyond belief when the nca have recently released warnings about super strength drugs, also about chinese substances that have ended up in drugs that mimic the effects of mdma. Add rat poison to that, youd be crazy to take any of this. Lets see a little bit more of the film now. So when are you actually going to do this trip abroad . Next week is when we have the festival. So we are going to go for two days. Thats when we will make most of the money. So youre going next week . Next week we will book the tickets and will get things moving. For me, watching you do this, it feels like a big deal. Because im watching you plan to traffic drugs. But how do you feel doing this . The method is very simple. Of course the implications are very serious. But its a very easy way for us to make money. Why did they agree to talk to you even given that they were disguised . I think, sadly, for these guys, whatever theyre doing, its still a business, so whether youre selling paper or drugs, people still want to brag about how good they are at it. So do you worry that youre giving them airtime . No. They were challenged constantly to the point i had to be careful not to get thrown out by them because they didnt like the questions i was asking but ultimately, in their bragging, they are revealing the wea knesses bragging, they are revealing the weaknesses in the system and giving focus hopefully to people about the dangers of what these guys are doing and the things people are taken, but also the trafficking routes, the drug dealing roots, the money that can be made, how lucrative the drug businesses in festival season. So many things come out of it. Not least whats in the drugs but how they are transported. Some of it is deeply concerning, isnt it . Its disturbing actually for the people trafficking the drugs by choice, as well. But the methods in which they do itand well. But the methods in which they do it and ultimately. There have been 12 deaths in festivals in the last two years. The strength is unknown to a lot of drugs at the moment, and while theyre still a demand for drugs, people will do as much as they can to make as much profit as they can in summer festivals. Given what you have seen, what you have learned, what would you say to someone going to a festival and, as you said, the market is there, there will be people taking drugs, what would you say . Just dont do it. Dont do it. Those deaths that have happened, theirfamilies, nobody those deaths that have happened, their families, nobody went to that festival and wanted to overdose. But the people selling drugs dont know what in it. I asked jackie what was in the mdma, and he said i dont know, its technical, but my stuff is good. I havent got a clue, and to be taking anything of anyone, you wouldnt do it on the street so why do you do it in a festival . Its not worth it. The other question from the police point of view, how do they stop this kind of dealing and people making those types of drugs as well . Its a really hard one because there are such a big demand for drugs especially in the festivals. A lot of people see it as pa rt festivals. A lot of people see it as part of their festival experience. So theres a lot of charities of the moment but are doing amazing work, going into festivals and working with festival organisers to test pupils drugs for them while they are there, so at least then they have a choice as to what they are taking because they will now know whats in it. A lot of the time people decide not to take drugs. Thank you. Really shocking. Festival drugs meet the dealers is on bbc three iplayer now. This may be talked about the tone of politics and the tone of the debate. The house of commons has a long and well deserved reputation as a place of gladatorial debate but this week many people have complained that the tone and language used by mps went too far and may incite violence. More than 100 bishops signed an open letter calling on politicians on all sides to show more respect. So where should politicians draw the line . Jayne mccubbin has been speaking with one mp urging others to think about their words. Thank you, mr speaker. The attorney general speaks of moral and constitutional courage. I have panic alarms. I have a fireproof letterbox. I have been threatened with rape. I have been told i should be exterminated, beheaded. Six people have been cautioned for abuse that they have given me. One man has been sentenced to 18 weeks improvement. I have been called a traitor and told that i should leave the country, yet i voted three times for the deal to leave. Do words have consequences . This mp believes the increasing heat in parliament has led to increasing pressure on mp5. This is the panic alarm she has been given which will bring armed police to her within minutes. And this is all linked with irresponsible, reckless behaviour and language. You cannot control. I dont think its acceptable from remainders, i dont think its acceptable from brexiteers, but it is certainly not acceptable from the Prime Minister. Language was at the heart of this social media thread from the daughter of mp Yvette Cooper which this week went viral. I read that tweet and i was so touched by it, because ive got a daughter whos not much younger than she is. Are these conversations you have at home, about are you safe, mum . Do these conversations happen . So obviously, my daughter has had to have advice for her safety. Who from . The Parliamentary Police liaison teams. Really . So she has come in to westminster to have advice. And my husband my husband as well. I mean, i i try to shield them from what i receive, because i dont want them to worry. On the Constituency Office wall, innocent images of westminster from schoolchildren a far cry from the there pit westminster has become as it gets closer to brexit d day. There are plenty of people who seem to be saying that is just heated language. Get on with it. Get over it. So an mp was taken out of her home at gunpoint by Anti Terrorism police. Her whole family were moved because of a threat, a plot, to behead her and another member of the public. The threat is out there. Its real. Another mp, jo cox, was murdered. And its real. Were going to end todays programme with a very sad story but also one of incredible courage. Its about a young woman called leanne collopy, who was murdered by a former boyfriend two years ago. He stabbed leanne 21 times then set fire to her home, with her daughter leila still inside. Leannes final act was to rescue leila from the flames and for that shes just been posthumously awarded the queens commendation for bravery. Leannes mum, julie, joins us now. Good morning and thanks for coming in. Its such a sad story, but with this gallantry award, that must make you so proud . Immensely proud, as a family, we couldnt believe it when we found out a few weeks ago. I mean, weve always been proud. We knew what leanne had done quite early on, and this, to have it recognised such a level, its just unbelievable for us. It is so amazing. A picture of leanne there with her daughter who she protected literally with her life. We cannot imagine what youve been through. But does this recognition, does it ta ke but does this recognition, does it take away some of that pain . But does this recognition, does it take away some of that pain7m but does this recognition, does it take away some of that pain . It does ina way, take away some of that pain . It does in a way, you are, and it takes away sort of, i never wanted leanne to be seen as a sort of, i never wanted leanne to be seen as a victim, and i think this is empowering for leanne. And her memory. And something the girls can carry on as they grow older. And to be really, really proud of their mum. To know that their mummy did thatis mum. To know that their mummy did that is incredible, isnt it . Definitely, yes. When you have discovered how brave she had been, i bet it didnt surprise you at all . Not at all. Leanne was just a fantastic mum. From being a little girl, all she ever wanted to be was a mummy. Her daughters were her life, and she gave her life for leila in the end. She was just unbelievable. My little girl. She was fantastic. Look, thank you for coming and sharing your story. Sharing your pride. She sounds like an amazing person and you are right to be proud and thank you so much. Congratulations to her and all of you. Thank you. Thats all from us today, here on breakfast. Ben and babita are back from six oclock tomorrow. Have a great day.
